Orange and vanilla like nothing before. This particular mix looks lovely if you layer 1 cup of flour, then the sugar, then the remaining flour for some contrast.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup evaporated cane sugar
1/2 cup non-dairy white chocolate chips
Makes 2 dozen cookies
DIRECTIONS
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in the bottom of a 1-quart canning jar. Swirl to mix. Press down with the back of a spoon to settle, then top with the sugar, then the chocolate chips. You can gently rap the jar on a table to help settle the layers. Top with lid and a tag with directions:
ORANGE CREAMSICLE COOKIES
Makes 2 dozen cookies
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Pour the jar contents into a large bowl and stir to combine.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredient bowl and add:
1 cup non-dairy margarine, melted and cooled
zest of 1 orange
¼ cup fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Mix to combine. You might need to use a strong spatula or just use your hands.
Scoop out the cookie dough into large tablespoon-size balls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten slightly and arrange 1 inch apart. Bake for about 8 minutes, until lightly browned and the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
